Answer:

$1032.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

salary = $950 every two weeks

tax rate = 8%

let the initial pay be x

and let the pay after tax deduction be p

p= x-8/100x

Hence the equation for his pay is

p=x-0.08x-------------1

subsitute

950=x-0.08x

950= 0.92x

divide both sides by 0.92

x= 950/0.92

x=$1032.60

The employee make $1032.60 every two weeks before taxes

must use quadratic formula

for an equation in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

a=3
b=4
c=5

x=\frac{-4+/- \sqrt{4^2-4(3)(5)} }{2(3)}
x=\frac{-4+/- \sqrt{16-60} }{6}
x=\frac{-4+/- \sqrt{-44} }{6}
x=\frac{-4+/- 2\sqrt{-11} }{6}
remember that√-1=i
x=\frac{-4+/- 2i\sqrt{-11} }{6}
x=\frac{-2+/- i\sqrt{-11} }{3}

x=\frac{-2+ i\sqrt{-11} }{3} or x=\frac{-2- i\sqrt{-11} }{3}

What is the equation of the following graph?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

y=0.5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are (0,5) and (-10,0)

to find the slope do

0-5/-10-0 = 5/10 = 1/2 = 0.5

next plug one of the points into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

lets use the point (-10,0)

y1=0

x1= -10

m= 0.5

y-0=0.5(x- -10)

y = 0.5(x+10)

distribute the 0.5

y=0.5x+5

Victor has 2 fraction models.Each is divided into equal sized sections the models are shaded to represent the same fraction.Mode
QveST [7]

Answer:

Model B has 6 shaded sections

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete. The complete question should be in the form:

Victor has 2 fraction models. Each is divided into equal sized sections the models are shaded to represent the same fraction. Model A is divided into 6 sections and 3 sections are shaded. Model B is divided into 12 sections. What do you know about the number of sections shaded in Model B? Explain your answer.

Solution:

The fraction modeled by model A is given by the ratio of shaded sections to  the total number of sections.

That is Fraction of model A = number of shaded sections / total number of sections.

Hence:

Fraction of model A = 3 / 6

Since model B and Model A are equivalent, the number of shaded sections in Model A is given by:

number of shaded sections in model B/ total number of sections in model B =  Fraction of model A

number of shaded sections in model B / 12 = 3 / 6

number of shaded sections in model B = 12 * 3/6

number of shaded sections in model B = 6

Y=x² + 16x + 64
motikmotik

I'll do the first one to get you started

The equation y = x^2+16x+64 is the same as y = 1x^2+16x+64

Compare that to y = ax^2+bx+c and we see that

a = 1

b = 16

c = 64

Use the values of 'a' and b to get the value of h as shown below

h = -b/(2a)

h = -16/(2*1)

h = -8

This is the x coordinate of the vertex.

Plug this x value into the original equation to find the corresponding y value of the vertex.

y = x^2+16x+64

y = (-8)^2 + 16(-8) + 64

y = 0

Since the y coordinate of the vertex is 0, this means k = 0.

The vertex is (h,k) = (-8, 0)

---------------------

So we found that a = 1, h = -8 and k = 0

Therefore,

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k

f(x) = 1(x-(-8))^2 + 0

f(x) = (x+8)^2

is the vertex form

---------------------

<h3>Final answer to problem 1 is f(x) = (x+8)^2 </h3>
